Best options for SLU users creating an account on PubMed: 

• ORCiD (recommended for students/residents)
  • register at ORCID.org, then use those credentials to log into PubMed
  • See our Guide to ORCID and our video about using ORCiD with PubMed
• NIH or eRAS Commons
  • may work if you have a NIH Grant
  • see https://www.era.nih.gov/erahelp/commons/PPF_Help/8_2_orcid.htm)
